      Explanation: Along a narrow path that mostly avoided landfall, the   
      shadow of the New Moon raced across planet Earth's southern hemisphere   
      on April 20 to create a rare annular-total or hybrid solar eclipse.   
      From the Indian Ocean off the coast of western Australia, ship-borne   
      eclipse chasers were able to witness 62 seconds of totality though   
      while anchored near the centerline of the total eclipse track. This   
      ship-borne image of the eclipse captures the active Sun's magnificent   
      outer atmosphere or solar corona streaming into space. A composite of   
      11 exposures ranging from 1/2000 to 1/2 second, it records an extended   
      range of brightness to follow details of the corona not quite visible   
      to the eye during the total eclipse phase. Of course eclipses tend to   
      come in pairs. On May 5, the next Full Moon will just miss the dark   
      inner part of Earth's shadow in a penumbral lunar eclipse.
